Night Riders Lament Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 ODne night while I was out Ga ridin'

 The gDrave yard shift, midnight 'til dAawn

 The mGoon was bAright as a reDadin' liBmght

 For a leAtter from an oGld friend back hDome

And he asked me

 WGhy do you rAide for your mDoney

 Tell me Gwhy do you rAope for short pDay

 You ain't a'gGettin' nowhAere

 And you're lDosin' your sBmhare A G

 Boy, you mAust have gone cGrazy out tDhere

 He said lDast night I ran into JeGnny

 She's mDarried and has a good Alife

 And boy you sGure missed the tArack

 When you nDever come bBmack

 She's the pAerfect proGfessional's wDife

And she asked me

 WGhy does he rAide for his mDoney

 And tGell me why does he rAope for short pDay

 He ain't a'gGettin' noAwhere

 And he's lDosin' his sBmhare A G

 Boy he mAust've gone cGrazy out tDhere

 Ah but they've nGever sAeen the NDorthern LBmights

 They've nGever seen a hAawk on the wDing

 They've nGever spent spAring on the GDreat DBmivide A G

 And they've nAever heard ole' cGamp cookie sDing E

 WEell I read up the last of my leAtter

 And I tEore off the stamp for black JBim

 And when BAilly rode uBp to relieve mEe C♯m

 He just lBooked at my lAetter and gErinned

He said now

 WAhy do they rBide for their mEoney

 Tell me Awhy do they rBide for short pEay

 They ain't a'Agettin' nowBhere

 And they're lEosin' their sC♯mhare B A

 Boy, they mBust've gone cArazy out tEhere

 Son, they aAll must be cBrazy out tEhere
